Join this exclusive panel event at one of Manchester’s most iconic music venues.
This edition of the Scale Up Sessions considers the post-pandemic re-emergence of the live and on-demand music industry, thrown into turmoil during lockdown, but finding new ways of building creative businesses in what is always a dynamic commercial enterprise environment.
Join us as we’ll be considering how we’re overcoming the difficulties of the post-pandemic return to live performance and the changing climate for musicians, as well as the threats and opportunities presented by the ever-advancing digital world, including artificial intelligence techniques in sound recording, performance in virtual spaces, personalised fan products and direct creator-to-fan relationships.
Chaired by John Robb, journalist, musician, and host of Louder Than Words music literature festival.
Panellists:
Gavin Sharp, CEO of Band on the Wall.
Terry Tyldesley, musician and music tech consultant.
Simon Scott, co-founder of CIRKAY & Push Entertainment social commerce technology companies.
Fiona McGarva, Sundae Communications and Lost Horizon, a VR and live creative events company.
Curated for BIPC Greater Manchester by Malcolm Garrett and Kasper de Graaf for Design Manchester.
